Chicago Bulls: Zach LaVine’s 5 best games of the season

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has emerged as one of the few reasons to watch this mediocre team. Here are a few of his best games from the 2019-20 season.

If you’re a Chicago Bulls fan, chances are you haven’t enjoyed much of the now-suspended 2019-20 season as far as your favorite team is concerned. After all, the franchise is still owned, managed (until recently), and coached by a cavalcade of knuckleheads and given its odd mashup of talent, the future doesn’t seem much brighter.

Among the gloom, however, sixth-year wing Zach LaVine has stood out as a sliver of sunlight. While LaVine hasn’t fully quieted the whispers regarding his potential as the best player on a championship contender, his impressive rate stats — 25.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game on 56.8 percent true shooting — have numbed some of the headaches this team causes. Yes, his defense and decision-making need plenty of work, but his scoring punch has kept this offense afloat.

Given his status as one of the few Bulls players who can manufacture their own shot, the former UCLA Bruin has produced plenty of high-scoring efforts this season. Whittling all of those 20-plus point performances down to his best five seems like a difficult task, but that’s what this article aims to do using Game Score and plus/minus stats alongside the eye-catching cumulative totals.

We’ll take a look at the five best games for Zach LaVine so far in the 2019-20 season. Without further ado, let’s get started.
